The news were all over the world; yet another ship had gone missing in the infamous Bermuda Triangle. The ship, called The Drudge, set out with more than 200 passengers heading fro Europe, but disappeared after just a days worth of travel, more or less in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.
All attempts to contact the vessel has failed and the ship is now considered missing. All of the passengers' next of kin have been notified and has been told to contact their local police if they know of anything that could have influenced the sudden vanishing of an entire ship.

But the ship did not just vanish. It was lured off-course by the song of several sirens and rammed the top of an undersea mountain. With the hull damaged, the ship started taking in water and went down fast. Many of the passengers drowned. Some were, unbeknown to the others, dragged into the depths by undines, whilst others were snatched and eaten by terrifying cestea; sea monsters in the shape of serpentine fish, ranging in size from that of a small size to that of a large whale.

Few people did survive and made it to one of the nearby islands. The island does not have much vegetation. It consists mostly of rocky ground with sand washed up on the shores. The middle of the island, however, is an about two miles in diameter, thick, lush jungle where you could not possibly pass through without cutting down a branch or some vines. In the very center of the island is a clearing with a spring of pure, clean water, surrounded by decorative, white columns.
On the northernmost shore stands a white alter with algae and coral growing on the smooth surfaces.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________


I know this isn't the greatest piece of writing in the world, but it gets the job done. It gives the basic amount of information on the setting. I don't really want to write a whole big deal about how shit came to be or anything like that, just know that this is all planned and that your characters are going to find out the secrets of the island as they explore and discover.
I will add more information as more is revealed and if people ask for specific information that I feel I can give at the moment.

What I want, nay NEED, is dedicated players that are up for some fun times and like to keep the OOC lit as well. A wise idiot once said that an active OOC makes for a more active IC.
I care way more about the quality of your writing, than I do about the quantity. I'll be satisfied with a single paragraph, as long as that paragraph moves things along and has a “feel” of your character.

Now, there are obviously a few rules. Everyone gets one warning and if they break a rule again, they will be kicked. There is one exception, which is an instant kick.

  • No metagaming, powergaming, God-modding and whatever else in those kind of terms you can think of.
  • You can only post twice a day, unless there is two posts or more since your last post.
  • The GM will make events and they may happen to only one character:
    Example: Jack suddenly started feeling sick and running a slight fever.
    Example: Jane could barely remember what her mother looked like anymore.
  • I expect posts once a week and if this cannot be met, please give notice.
  • If you know you will to away or get busy, please give notice ahead of time.
  • DO NOT EVER TL;DR me or any other player; this is an instant kick for being disrespectful.
  • There is no main character; we are all equal.
  • All characters must be approved before they are moved to the Character Tab.
  • When you submit your Character Sheet, you must also write five random facts about yourself (The Player).
  • More rules may be added at any time as the GM sees fit.

Please take a(nother) look at the rules, then I'll review your character.

I will give you a proper review tomorrow, but looking this over it appears fine.

My own character will be up sometime within the next 24 hours, so you can wait for that and use her as a sort of reference, if you want to.

Double posting because I have to.

Here's my character. You are obviously welcome to do your own critique of her, if you wish to do so. I won't move her till she's been approved by at least one other player.



Five Facts about The Mad Hatter:
  • I suffer from Lepidopterophobia.
    I'll save you the trip on Google and tell you that it's the irrational fear of butterflies. It's so bad that even pictures of them make me all jittery.
  • I have two kids.
    Both of my kids are named after Gods of the old Norse Mythology (Freja and Balder) and my pets are all named after cartoon characters.
    Freja is from October 2014 and Balder was born four months premature last December in our own little version of Nightmare Before Christmas.
  • I used to be a Punker.
    With a blue mohawk and second-hand clothes made into rebellious rags. I even had some piercings, but I took 'em all out when I had kids and now I look like your plain old everyday mommy.Except that I still wear my studded belts and/or bracelets sometimes.
  • I love books.
    Almost every piece of literature I can get my hands on, I'll read. The last few years it's mostly been amateur novels on FictionPress, but some of those are really good, too.
    Fun Fact about my name is that the Hatter in Alice in Wonderland was never actually referred to as “The Mad Hatter”, but rather it was said that one needed to be “Mad as a Hatter”, to which he added, “Which, luckily, I am”. He could have meant either a Hatter or Mad, though. Also, Hatters actually were a bit coo-coo back when the book was written, because of the quicksilver.
  • I LOOOOOOVE Disney movies.
    Like, seriously. You have no idea how great a love for the classic Disney movies I have. I wanted to be a Disney Princess when I was little. I even wrote fairytales akin to those of the Disney worlds.
    As a result of this love, I also played Kingdom Hearts (though that was partly due to my love of Final Fantasy, too) and absolutely loved that, too. I have a Keyblade on my wall (Oathkeeper, if you're curious).

You guys... You're forcing me to not only double post, but triple post. It hurts my non-existent ginger-soul.

All right. I'm not exactly in a hurry to get things started.

No rush. Better to do it well than to do it fast.

Totally okay. We're in no hurry. Real life is and always will be more important than roleplaying.

#1 Update:
The IC will not be up until the 28th, at the earliest. My youngest child is getting baptized I'm getting married to his father in a week (and I'm dying because of all the last-minute preparations that still needs to be done). Because of this, I have very little time to actually do roleplaying things (I feel like I barely have time to poop and sleep) and won't be on much. I'll still be on at least once a day to check for questions and reply if necessary, but this won't be the week that I start or participate in online conversations for the sake of conversing.
I encourage you all to keep the OOC alive and start getting to know each other and I'll start doing the same once I'm a married lady.

Thanks, guys ^_^ It's weird how getting married seems like a much bigger deal than it did to have kids. Likely because so few couples actually get married (at least here in Denmark).

Probably gonna have to drop out of this then. I'll be away from the 27th and won't have good enough internet to post here.


I'm sorry to hear that. When will you be able to join? If it's not too late, maybe I could postpone the IC for a little while longer, if everyone is all right with that?

@The Mad Hatter They're both expressions of love, and both mean you're going to dedicate your life to someone else. But one is for the two of you, and only the two of you. So I'm going to tell you to enjoy it.

I must be really low on sleep... I haven't had a date in my entire life and I'm trying to give love advice! Granted I'm only 17... ugh, I'm so tired...

I guess the big difference for me is the fact that my daughter actually has a different father. Long story short, I got pregnant by accident, we decided to keep the baby and he decided that he changed his mind, when it was too late. He's never had any contact with her and doesn't want to, either.
So having a kid with someone isn't a vow of staying together forever; my fiancé even said yesterday that when we got married, we couldn't just break up anymore. We went through hell with our son, because, first, it took almost a year and two miscarriages to finally get a baby that decided to stick around and then he was born 4 months prematurely, making him one of the youngest surviving babies ever. For the first two months of his life, we constantly thought we were gonna lose him. It really took a toll on our relationship and there was a lot of times where we were both sure that we couldn't make it through, but we did and our relationship is stronger than ever.

Oh. Wow. Sorry for telling you my whole life story...

Well then, kudos to you, milady. While I have been through tough situations, I don't think I've been through something like that. So life story or no, thank you for telling me that. It's proven to me that you're strong.

Congrats on the wedding, I've been married for 6 years to an amazing woman, trust me every day is a million tiny battles but you don't know the right one until it seems like every thing is on the line. I was in the military two deployments and tons of training missions spent away from my wife and two little girls and never once has this woman ever complained about any of it(everything else she has no problem complaining about though......j/k.....sort of). Hell my second daughter was born and three days later I jumped on a plane and headed for my second deployment and never once did I hear her curse me for having to be gone. I guess my point of all this is you're a woman and women in my experience are a hell of a lot better handling situations where it seems like nothing is going to go right.
